Two 18 year old boys who are cousins and best friends, sent in their mission papers around the same time. The first got his mission call to the Peru Lima North Mission. The second recieved his two weeks later to the same mission, leaving on the same day. Now as 19 year old boys they have left their homes together to serve the Lord and enter the mission field. This is a blog of their experiences, letters and pictures.

Well to start off the typical rumors of the day of changes. Ive been
told im staying in my area. I was kind of hoping to leave and change
areas but i guess ill live. I wanted to see Crump. Sounds awesome that
its cold right now! i dont even remember what cold is..this last week i
completed 9 months in the jungle! wow! This week we had a baptism of a
younger guy, Freddy. We have been teaching him for about a week and
finally dunked him. We got to the chapel with him and no one is there!
Then we look in the font and there isnt water! The ward mission leader
finally came after an hour of waiting with the key to fill the font.
Asu!! So i had buckets going crazy trying to fill it up faster. This
week ive been working really hard to find familys, its just so hard to
get them all to attend church because there is always something and here
in the jungle if you have a cold your pretty much done for and they
think they have to go to the
emergancy room. Really though here its like the smallest illness or
papercut and your a dead man. Also there is always a fruit that can cure
it! im always joking about that it someone is sick i just say hey rub
some coconut on that! Hey un favor. Tell trish to tell nick that its his
solem resposibility to let me know if im changing, he knows all the
changes like 1 week before because he has to book the airline tickets.
Well not much else to say. Love you all!
